Materiale presentato durante il seminario "Auto. L'infomobilità e l'innovazione prevedibile", tenutosi lunedì 25 febbraio 2019 presso il Polo del '900, Torino

1. la situazione del Piemonte
i progetti sull’automotive finanziati dalla Regione Piemonte e le innovazioni in uso

2. Industrial transition
Piedmont economy is affording a critical transition toward a new “industrial paradigm” :
 Demographic trend and “urbanisation” (in some case de-urbanisation)
 Shift from a mainly manufacturing base toward a new “asset” more founded on:
Services (i.e. engineering, R&D, data management, consultancy, etc.)
New businesses (health, bioeconomy, biotechnologies, etc.)
Selected by OECD and European Commission in 2018 as one of twelve European
Regions in “Industrial Transition”

3. Industrial skills
Competences and attitude toward innovation, entrepreneurship and new businesses
largely spread into regional ecosystem
the highest rate of private R&D in Italy
2nd in Italy for amount of “innovative” SMEs registered
6th in Italy for amount of “start up”
1st in Italy for academic research (from national research evaluation system)
Awareness on those competences and attitude not always so much diffused into
ecosystem:
large mismatch in the job market
lack of trust between industry and research
higher age of entrepreneurs and managers compared to Italian average
higher rate of young unemployment compared to northern Italy

4. EUROPEAN REGIONAL INNOVATION SCOREBOARD

5. What is happening
A strong automotive supply chain (first in Italy), well oriented toward new trend of
hybrid and electric vehicle, as well connected and autonomous vehicle, with
some interesting opportunities of cooperation with:
Aerospace, specially in engine areas (i.e. GE Avio, Leonardo)
Rail, specially for electric engine and controls (i.e. Alstom)
Shipbuilding, specially for new and light materials (i.e. Azimut Benetti)

6. What is missing
some core industrial competencies are lacking (even if growing), i.e.:

batteries,

composites,

telecom,


15. Interregional innovation investments
WHAT
Interregional innovation investments through the commercialisation and scaling up of
interregional innovation projects having the potential to encourage the development of
European value chains ('component 5'). (ETC Art 3.5)
HOW MUCH
11.5 % of ETC Resources (i.e., a total of EUR 970m) for interregional innovation
investments (component 5). (ETC Art. 9.2)
HOW
It shall be implemented under direct or indirect management. (ETC Art 16.1)
FOR WHOM
At the initiative of the Commission, the ERDF may support interregional innovation
investments, as set out in point 5 of Article 3, bringing together researchers,
businesses, civil society and public administrations involved in smart specialisation
strategies established at national or regional levels. (ETC Art 61)
